A Hotel Worth Staying at from Nagoya!

Experience of the stay
The perfect hotel to enjoy the National Treasure Inuyama Castle and the National Treasure tea room Jo-an is Hotel Indigo Inuyama Yuyakuen.
I stayed through the travel subscription HafH and was able to stay affordably even on a weekend!
I have stayed at various Indigos both domestically and internationally, and this one was among the top class in terms of comfort!
You can see Inuyama Castle through the water basin from the lobby—a stunning view. The half buffet breakfast was delicious too!
With an onsen and gym available, you can relax during your hotel stay. Inuyama is about 40 minutes from Nagoya, perfect for a day trip, but because Indigo is so wonderful, I definitely recommend staying overnight.
Experiences during the trip
During my stay at the hotel, I visited Inuyama Castle! The view from the main tower was wonderful. Strolling through the castle town and trying grilled gohei mochi was also a fun experience!
Inuyama Station has Yoshizua Inuyama store (CASTA) in front of the East Exit, opposite the castle town. I went there for lunch and dinner shopping.
Also, the route bus to tourist spots like Meiji Village, Little World, and Monkey Park departs from the Inuyama Castle East Exit Rotary bus stop, so you can go from here.
There is a food court on B1F of Yoshizuya, and they serve Nagoya's soul food "Sugakiya," so I had lunch there.
Ramen for 390 yen, and soft serve ice cream for 190 yen—it was the best cost-performance! The Sugakiya Mini Set for 590 yen includes a mini-size ramen, gomoku rice, cup soft cream, and salad, which was a very satisfying set. I was glad to finally debut at Sugakiya!
